  • Appendix 3J Cross-Border Issues and Australian Bushfires
    3J-1 Appendix 3J Cross-Border Issues and Australian Bushfires Table 3J-1 below contains 26 extracts from books, reports and papers, from 1983 through to 2005, which describe the impact of Australia's State-Territory borders and cross-border issues on operational responses to bushfires, and associated costs to individuals, communities and governments. These 26 extracts include 1 from 1983; 1 from 1998; 1 from 2000; 1 from 2001; 1 from 2002; 15 from 2003 (including reports on the January 2003 Canberra bushfires by the Canberra Times and the ACT Stateline television program, and the McLeod and Nairn Reports); 4 from 2004 (including the COAG Report by Ellis et al.), and 2 from 2005. 3J-2 Table 3J-1: Extracts on State-Territory Cross-Border Issues Arising in Relation to Australian Bushfires Source Selected Extracts Whitlam (1983: 40-42): The cost of Australian federalism is horrendous enough when the federal government and a state government or state governments duplicate services for which there is a commonly accepted standard. The cost is higher still when they supply services for which there is not such a standard. The most notorious case in Australian history concerned the railways where the states adopted three different gauges. ... The break of gauge syndrome has another manifestation which was brought to my attention by a fire in the bulk sugar terminal at Townsville in May 1963. The terminal's own fire fighting equipment could not cope. The adjacent Harbour Board could not assist, since its hoses could not be coupled with those of the terminal. Nor could the hoses of the City Council nor those of the federal departments of Civil Aviation and of Air at the airport.

  • Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia
    Australian Journal of Politics and History: Volume 53, Number 4, 2007, pp. 614-667. Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia January to June 2007 JOHN WANNA The Australian National University and Griffith University Shadow Dancing Towards the 2007 Election The election year began with Prime Minister John Howard facing the new Opposition leader, Kevin Rudd. Two developments were immediately apparent: as a younger fresher face Rudd played up his novelty value and quickly won public support; whereas Howard did not know how to handle his new “conservative” adversary. Rudd adopted the tactic of constantly calling himself the “alternative prime minister” while making national announcements and issuing invitations for summits as if he were running the government. He promised to reform federal-state relations, to work collaboratively with the states on matters such as health care, to invest in an “education revolution”, provide universal access to early childhood education, and to fast-track high-speed broadbanding at a cost of $4.7 billion. Rudd also began to stalk and shadow the prime minister around the country — a PM “Doppelgänger” — appearing in the same cities or at the same venues often on the same day (even going to the Sydney cricket test match together). Should his office receive word of the prime minister’s intended movements or scheduled policy announcements, Rudd would often appear at the location first or make upstaging announcements to take the wind from the PM’s sails. Politics was a tactical game like chess and Rudd wanted to be seen taking the initiative. He claimed he thought “it will be fun to play with his [John Howard’s] mind for a while” (Weekend Australian Magazine, 10-11 February 2007).

  • The Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Drive
    The Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Drive At our next monthly meeting, our guest speaker will be Veronica Nolan of the Capertee Valley Environmental Group. Veronica will be talking about "The Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Drive", a scenic route currently being promoted by Lithgow City Council. She will be concentrating on the section known to the locals as ‘the back way’, the road from Glen Davis to Mudgee. The Capertee Valley lies within the western escarpment of the Blue Mountains and, at 30km wide, is the largest enclosed valley in the southern hemisphere. Rising dramatically from the valley floor is Pantoneys Crown, a column- like, flat-topped mountain, named after William Pantoney, one of the members of the first European expedition through the area - that of John Blackman in 1821. The area is rich in both historical remains and natural beauty—from the crumbling ruins of the shale- mining town of Glen Davis to the precipitous sandstone cliffs, pagoda-like rock formations and a diverse fauna and flora of the Gardens of Stone National Park. The meeting will commence at 7.30pm on Friday 27 ththth July At the Conservation Hut, western end of Fletcher St, Wentworth Falls. VISITORS MOST WELCOME! View from The Sentinel, Glen Davis, looking south-west over the Capertee Valley. MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT LAUNCHES “DRINK TAP WATER” CAMPAIGN The Blue Mountains Conservation Society is distributing At the launch, Mr. Koperberg said “I congratulate the free bottle labels designed to encourage people to conserve schools and the Conservation Society on this initiative. Recent groundwater by drinking tap water instead of bottled spring or polls have shown that a large proportion of the population is bore water.

  • Hongkong Protest Using Firechat
    FireChat Introduction: FireChat is a “peer-to-peer mesh networking” based mobile application developed by Open Garden that allows users to send messages using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi; it works without any Internet Connection or mobile phone coverage. FireChat provides a new type of communication called “firechats”. These live and anonymous discussion groups can hold as many as 10,000 people simultaneously. Gain in Popularity: The app first gained popularity in Iran and Iraq following government restrictions on Internet use. In June, more than 40,000 Iraqis downloaded this application. It was also used by students in Taiwan during the „Sunflower movement‟ Hong Kong Protest: Recently, the app has reached a massive popularity in Hong Kong. According to Reuters [1], the posts and links related to “Hong Kong protests” are being removed from search engines, social networks and other websites. The pro-democracy protesters reported that their contents posted in popular Chinese micro blog „Weibo‟, Search engine „Baidu „and messages on WeChat are being censored. The Chinese authorities also banned Instagram. To bypass the censorship, the protestors have begun using the FireChat application to communicate with other protesters. The app gained more than 200,000 new users within few hours. Wired noted [2] that there were 2 million chat sessions initiated within two days. The app is seeing about 20,000 concurrent users in Hong Kong. The application became the most downloaded app from Hong Kong iOS Apple Store. According to Android application store, the app has now been downloaded more than 10,00,000 times. Using: To begin, a user needs to sign up by providing his full name, username and email ID.

  • Asia Chats- Update on Line, Kakaotalk, and Firechat in China
    Research Brief The Citizen Lab July 2014 Asia Chats: Update on Line, KakaoTalk, and FireChat in China Media coverage: CBC News, TechPresident, and Slate. On July 10 we reported that messaging applications LINE and KakaoTalk were being disrupted in China as a result of DNS tampering and HTTP request filtering. We also found that Flickr and Microsoft OneDrive were blocked in the country. Since that time we have done daily tests of these domains from servers in China. We find that Flickr and OneDrive remain consistently blocked, but LINE and KakaoTalk show inconsistent fluctuation between accessibility and inaccessibility. We also analyze security and privacy issues in the mobile app FireChat and test accessibility of the service in China. ACCESSIBILITY OF KAKAOTALK, LINE, FLICKR, ONEDRIVE IN CHINA In our previous post, we established that injected DNS replies was the primary mechanism by which KakaoTalk and LINE was being blocked in China. We test the domains that we investigated in our previous post twice daily from July 12 – 23, 2014 to measure the consistency of the blocks. We resolved the DNS records of the following domains in China: Domain Tested Service flickr.com Photo sharing service kakao.com KakaoTalk – Cross platform messaging app line.naver.jp LINE – Cross platform messaging app onedrive.live.com Cloud file sharing service 1 July 2014 Our tests return known fake DNS replies that have been previously observed in China, as noted in a presentation from John-Paul Verkamp at the CAIDA Active Internet Measurements Workshop (see slide 6). These possible fake response addresses are summarized below: IP Network 8.7.198.45 LEVEL3 – Level 3 Communications, Inc.,US 78.16.49.15 AS-BTIRE BT Communications Ireland Limited,IE 37.61.54.158 BAKINTER-AS Baktelekom,AZ 93.46.8.89 FASTWEB Fastweb SpA,IT 46.82.174.68 DTAG Deutsche Telekom AG,DE 159.106.121.75 59.24.3.173 KIXS-AS-KR Korea Telecom,KR 203.98.7.65 CLIX-NZ TelstraClear Ltd,NZ 243.185.187.39 127.0.0.1 Localhost We tested the domains to see whether or not they would return these known bad DNS responses.
